A developmental perspective of gambling behavior in children and adolescents / Jeffrey L. Derevensky,

Although it has been determined that gambling is a popular activity amongst the young, there seems to be a lack of studies
examining developmental differences in children's gambling behavior. This study examines developmental differences in
children's blackjack gambling behavior. One hundred and four students (51 males; 53 females) from grades 4, 6, and 8
completed a questionnaire examining their gambling behavior in general and individually played a computerized blackjack
game with the following data being recorded: percentage of accuracy, amounts of money bet, gross winnings, percentage of
wins, number of hands played, and end balance. Findings revealed few developmental differences in prevalence and
frequency of gambling behavior and performance on a blackjack task. Males were found to wager greater amounts of
money and have larger gross winnings than females on the blackjack task. Furthermore, males were more likely to view
gambling as involving both large amounts of skill and luck, thus suggesting an illusion of control for gambling activities.
The results are discussed from a cognitive developmental perspective. (Editore)

Correction of Erroneous Perceptions Among Primary School Students Regarding the Notions of Chance
and Randomness in Gambling / Robert Ladouceur, Francine Ferland, and Patricia-Maude Fournier – 2003
http://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ853619.pdf
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a gambling prevention program that aimed to correct the notions of chance and
randomness among primary school students. The relative effectiveness of two prevention programs aiming to modify erroneous perceptions of gambling as well as the teacher’s and specialist’s on the psychology of gambling efficiencies to deliver
the prevention programs were compared. Results showed that the program administered by a specialist of the psychology of
gambling was more effective at decreasing erroneous perceptions than that provided by the teacher. The discussion raises
the practical implications of these results for preventing gambling problems among primary school students, as well as the
potential role that teachers could play in the implementation of such programs. (Abstract autori)
Di gioco in gioco: Gioco, emozioni e prevenzione all’azzardo. Uno studio sugli effetti del gioco e dell’azzardo
in due scuole primarie / A cura di Giovanni Savron e Laura Casanova – pp. 8
http://gambling.it/images/pdf/digiocoingioco.pdf
… Nell’ambito del progetto sulla prevenzione del gioco d’azzardo, promosso dall’Assessorato per le Politiche Sociali del
Comune di Ravenna, ci siamo volutamente soffermati su una fase di crescita psicologica specifica, quella della preadolescenza e adolescenza, con l’intento di proporre un itinerario esperienziale
sui giochi che passasse da quello innocuo a quello pericoloso, dall’emozione positiva a quella negativa, per poi giungere a
una maggiore comprensione dell’azzardo e dei suoi rischi. Abbiamo ritenuto che un progetto con gli alunni di V elementare
e III media rispondesse alle esigenze di informazione e prevenzione sociale, essendo una fascia di età in cui il gioco e il giocare, sebbene in gradi diversi, rappresenta ancora una parte importante del vissuto quotidiano… (dall’introduzione)
Gambling Prevention Curriculum Introduced in Philadelphia Schools November 24, 2010 –

The Council on Compulsive Gambling Â has completed its first year of providing gambling prevention programs in Philadelphia schools. In 2009, the Council on Compulsive Gambling of Pennsylvania (CCGP) received a grant from the Bureau
of Drug and Alcohol Programs (BDAP) for a three-year pilot program to implement Smart Choices in various school districts and colleges across the commonwealth. This prevention program focuses on the inherent risks of gambling and emphasizes positive decision making skills … (Introduzione)
Gambling prevention program for teenagers / Izabela Ramona Lupu, Viorel Lupu In “Journal of Cognitive and Behavioral Psychotherapies” (Impact Factor: 0.3). 01/2013; 13(2):575-584

The purpose of the present study was to compare a program of rational emotive education plus specific primary prevention
(developed for restructuring erroneous information about gambling) with a rational emotive education program. Participants
were randomized (N = 75, age 12- 13) into three groups: 1) Control; 2) Rational emotive education plus specific information about games using the interactive software “Amazing Chateau”; and 3) Rational emotive education. All teenagers filled
a 38 items questionnaire regarding their knowledge about gambling, at the beginning and at the end of the study (after 10
weekly meetings). Each item had three answering options, teenagers being asked to choose only one correct answer. The
results of the study confirmed that using primary prevention tools designed specifically for gambling activities, along
with programs which improve socio-emotional development, as rational emotive education does, is more efficient than using rational emotive education by itself. Results were maintained at follow up (3, 6, 9, and 12 month). Results demon-strate
that school programs should include specific primary prevention activities for gambling along with rational emotive education in order to restructure erroneous information about gambling in teenagers. This study tried to satisfy the need for evidence-based research about prevention programs for gambling, demonstrating that specific prevention programs targeting
gambling should be combined with rational emotive education in order to have better and long lasting results. (Editore)
Gambling Prevention Program Among Children / Izabela Ramona Todirita, Viorel Lupu – In “Journal of

http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10899-012-9293-1
Gambling becomes a more frequent activity among children as they have an easy access to the world of the games. In the
same time children are at a higher risk for developing problem and/or pathological gambling having erroneous information
about how games of chance and games of skill work. The purpose of the study was to compare the influence of specific
primary prevention with rational emotive education (REE) on the subjects’ knowledge about games. The experimental
design randomly assigned children (N = 81, age 12–13, 37 male and 44 female) into three groups: 1. control, 2. specific
information about games using the interactive software “Amazing Chateau”, and 3. REE.

All children completed a questionnaire with 38 items at the beginning of the study and after 10 weekly interventional
meetings. Each item had three answering options, children choosing only one correct answer. Findings indicated that the use
of the software significantly improved subjects’ knowledge about gambling and corrected their information about how
games work. The results of the study confirmed that using specific primary prevention tools for changing erroneous
conceptions about games is more efficient than using only REE. The implications of these results for the prevention of
gambling problems especially in schools are discussed. (Editore)

L’incroyable château et la ville piégée / Kit didattico
http://youthgambling.mcgill.ca/Gambling2/fr/prevention/tools_fr.php
Distribués en novembre 2004 à toutes les écoles du Québec, ces outils visent la réduction de l'incidence des problèmes de
jeu chez les jeunes et l'adoption de comportements de jeu responsables chez cette même population. Ils sont présentés sous
forme de jeu interactif sur cédérom : L'incroyable château (niveau I) et La ville piégée (niveau II). Le premier s'adresse aux
élèves du primaire, de la quatrième à la sixième année, et le second aux élèves de la première à la cinquième secondaire.
Comme l'initiation aux jeux d'argent a généralement lieu autour de l'âge de 10 ou 11 ans, il peut être bénéfique de débuter
les efforts de prévention dès la quatrième année du primaire. Ces outils éducatifs ont été développés à partir des
connaissances acquises au fil des ans lors de travaux de recherche menés auprès de plusieurs groupes de jeunes, joueurs et
non joueurs. L'impact de ces outils a été évalué. Les résultats montrent des changements dans les attitudes et les cognitions
des participants vis-à-vis Programme de prévention du jeu pathologique et de sensibilisation - Niveau ICe jeu
interactif sur cédérom s'adresse aux élèves du 3e cycle du primaire. Par le biais d'activités amusantes les jeunes participants
apprennent à faire la différence entre les jeux de hasard et les jeux d'habiletés. Ils se familiarisent également avec des
concepts importants liés à la participation aux jeux d'argent (chance, hasard, indépendance des événements, mythes et
réalités), à la prise de risques, aux conséquences des dépendances et aux choix responsables. Les activités se déroulent à
l'intérieur d'un château où les jeunes naviguent dans des décors aussi divertissants que variés. À la fin de chaque activité, un
guide informe les jeunes sur leur niveau de réussite. Leur performance est encouragée par l'octroi de cristaux. Lors des
activités de hasard, ces cristaux sont utilisés comme mise. Plus un participant persiste dans ce type d'activité, plus il perd
des cristaux. Une rétroaction est toujours fournie aux participants lors de chaque des activités. À la toute fin d'une partie,
dont la durée est d'environ 45 minutes, une évaluation personnalisée est fournie à chaque participant. Il est possible de
mettre fin à une partie, de la sauvegarder et d'y retourner ultérieurement. Ce jeu est également offert en anglais sous le titre

Lottery Playing Amongst Youth: Implications for Prevention and Social Policy. / Jennifer R. Felsher,
Jeffrey L. Derevensky, Rina Gupta – in “Journal of Gambling Studies” - June 2004, Volume 20, Issue 2, pp
127-153
http://link.springer.com/article/10.1023/B:JOGS.0000022306.72513.7c
Factors associated with lottery ticket purchases, accessibility of lottery products, and lottery playing behaviour amongst
1,072 youth (ages 10–18 years old, mean age 14 years-old) was examined. Playing the lottery was found to be the most
popular gambling activity with youth reporting playing all forms of lottery tickets including draws, scratch tickets, and
sports lottery tickets. Youth reported beginning to play the lottery at age 12, with scratch ticket participation being amongst
the most highly reported type of lottery activity with the youngest age of onset. The vast majority of youth are aware of the
legal age to purchase tickets although many believed that there should be no age requirement to purchase any form of
lottery ticket. Youth, regardless of their age, reported few if any difficulties in purchasing lottery tickets. Moreover, a third
of underage youth reported going to the store specifically to purchase lottery tickets with this behaviour increasing with the
age of the participant. This research confirms previous findings that lottery tickets are highly accessible to underage youth
despite legal prohibitions. The results provide valuable information that can be subsequently used in the development of
responsible social policy and youth gambling prevention programs (Editore)
Multi-Year Evaluation of the Effectiveness of a Resilience-Based Prevention Program for Young Children /
Kathleen Bodisch Lynch, Susan Rose Geller, Melinda G. Schmidt – in “Journal of Primary Prevention” March
2004, Volume 24, Issue 3, pp 335-353
This article describes the results of a multi-year, multi-state evaluation of the effectiveness of an early childhood prevention
initiative that translates resilience research into practice. Targeted to children in preschool through the early elementary
grades, the intervention comprises teacher training, a year-long classroom curriculum, original materials and music, and a
companion parent education program. The evaluation methodology evolved from pre-experimental to true experimental
design and encompassed multiple program replications. Child outcome data indicate that the intervention is effective in
both: (a) strengthening children's social-emotional competence and positive coping skills and (b) suppressing the
development of antisocial, aggressive behavior. The systematic process and outcome evaluation of this prevention initiative
fills a gap by providing hard evidence of the effectiveness of a developmentally appropriate, research-based intervention for
young children. (Editore)

Predicting early gambling in children. / Vitaro, Frank; Wanner, Brigitte - in “Psychology of Addictive Behaviors” - Vol 25(1), Mar 2011, 118-126
http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/a0021109
This large population-based study (N = 1,125) examined whether low inhibition (i.e., low anxiety) predicted early gambling,
above and beyond disinhibition (i.e., impulsivity) and whether the two personal dispositions operated independently or interactively. It also examined whether the predictive role of these personal dispositions towards early gambling depended on
parent gambling. Children's personal dispositions were assessed at ages 6, 7, and 8 years through teacher ratings. Parent
gambling participation and gambling problems were assessed when the children were 8 years old. Finally, children's early
gambling was measured through self-reports when the children were 10 years old. Results showed that teacher-rated impulsivity predicted early gambling for both genders. In addition, low anxiety predicted early gambling behavior, above and beyond impulsivity and control variables, albeit only in boys. Impulsivity and anxiety did not interact with each other, nor did
they interact with parent gambling in predicting early gambling. However, parent gambling participation, but not problems,
additively predicted early gambling for boys and for girls. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are
discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)

550 – Chapitre 8 p. 379
Cet ouvrage vise deux objectifs : cerner les facteurs de risque et de protection associés à une variété de problèmes d'adaptation chez les jeunes et, surtout, décrire les programmes de prévention disponibles en insistant sur ceux qui se sont révélés
efficaces. Plusieurs éléments d'ordre théorique et méthodologique sont abordés au passage. Enfin, certains enjeux sociopolitiques sont débattus. L'ouvrage s'adresse aux étudiants, chercheurs et praticiens qui veulent faire le point sur les connaissances actuelles en matière de prévention auprès des jeunes. Dans le premier tome portant sur les problèmes internalisés, les
auteurs traitent des éléments conceptuels et stratégiques comme le dépistage des individus ou des groupes à risque, l’évaluation des programmes de prévention ou les stratégies pour susciter la participation des parents à ces programmes. (Editore)
Prevention of Problem Gambling: Modifying Misconceptions and Increasing Knowledge Among Canadian
Youths / Robert Ladouceur, Francine Ferland, Frank Vitaro – in “Journal of Primary Prevention”
November 2004, Volume 25, Issue 3, pp 329-335
Research on gambling demonstrates that youths are involved in gambling activities. As they take part in these activities,
young people develop and maintain irrational thoughts about gambling and become at risk for developing severe gambling
problems. In a previous study, a French video was designed specifically to correct misconceptions and increase knowledge
about gambling (Ferland, Ladouceur, & Vitaro, 2002). Findings indicated that the video significantly improves subjects'
knowledge about gambling and corrects their misconceptions. The present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the
English version of that video. The sample comprised 506 grade 7 and 8 English speaking students from Canada. The results
confirmed the efficacy of the video in increasing knowledge of gambling and correcting misconceptions concerning the
outcome of these games. The implications of these results for the prevention of gambling problems are discussed (Editore)
Principles of Substance Abuse Prevention for Early Childhood: a Research Based Guide – National Institut on
Drug Abuse
https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/principles-substance-abuse-prevention-early-childhood/introduction
Substance abuse and addiction are preventable disorders that interfere with normal healthy functioning, contributing to
physical and behavioral health problems, injuries, lost income and productivity, and family dysfunction. While substance
use generally begins during the adolescent years, there are known biological, psychological, social, and environmental
factors that contribute to the risk that begin accumulating as early as the prenatal period. This creates opportunities to
intervene very early in an individual’s life and thereby prevent substance use disorders—and, along with them, a range of
other related behavioral problems—long before they would normally manifest themselves.
6
The second edition of NIDA’s Preventing Drug Abuse Among Children and Adolescents (2003) noted that “early
intervention can prevent many adolescent risks.” This special supplement to that volume reflects a growing body of research
that has continued to accumulate showing that providing a stable home environment, adequate nutrition, physical and
cognitive stimulation, warm supportive parenting, and good classroom management in the early years of a child’s life
(prenatal through age 8) can lead the child to develop strong self-regulation (i.e., emotional and behavioral control) and
other qualities that protect against a multitude of risks and increase the likelihood of positive developmental outcomes.
Positive effects of these interventions include delayed initiation and decreased use of drugs when the child reaches
adolescence.
By adolescence, children’s attitudes, behaviors, family interactions, and relationships—factors that may influence
propensity to try or become addicted to drugs—are well established and not as easily changed. For young children already
exhibiting serious risk factors for later drug use, delaying intervention until later childhood or adolescence may make it
more difficult to overcome accumulated risk factors and achieve positive outcomes… (Introduzione)

Risk-taking/gambling-like behavior in preschool children. / Kearney C.A., Drabman R.S. – In “J Gambl Stud.
1992” - Sep;8(3) - 287-97
http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2FBF01014654
The types and characteristics of risk-taking or gambling-like behaviors in children are not well understood. Social learning,
as one potential etiological factor of risktaking behavior in preschool children, was empirically examined. Prior to playing a
risk-taking game, children in the experimental group were exposed to a peer model who had ostensibly won a large prize,
whereas control children were exposed to a peer model who had won nothing. Children in the experimental group initiated
more risks to win the large prize in the high-risk situation than children in the control group. The results indicated that modeling can enhance risk-taking/gambling-like behavior in young children. Parallels to compulsive gambling in adults, and
recommendations for future research were also discussed. (Editore)
Stacked Deck: An Effective, School-based Program for the Prevention of Problem Gambling / Robert J. Williams; Robert T. Wood; Shawn R. Currie – in “The Journal of Primary Prevention” , 2010;31(3):109-125
http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10935-010-0212-x#/page-1
School-based prevention programs are an important component of problem gambling prevention, but empirically effective
programs are lacking. Stacked Deck is a set of 5–6 interactive lessons that teach about the history of gambling; the true odds
and "house edge"; gambling fallacies; signs, risk factors, and causes of problem gambling; and skills for good decision making and problem solving. An overriding theme of the program is to approach life as a "smart gambler" by determining the
odds and weighing the pros versus cons of your actions. A total of 949 grade 9–12 students in 10 schools throughout southern Alberta received the program and completed baseline and follow-up measures. These students were compared to 291
students in 4 control schools. Four months after receiving the program, students in the intervention group had significantly
more negative attitudes toward gambling, improved knowledge about gambling and problem gambling, improved resistance
to gambling fallacies, improved decision making and problem solving, decreased gambling frequency, and decreased rates
of problem gambling. There was no change in involvement in high risk activities or money lost gambling. These results indicate that Stacked Deck is a promising curriculum for the prevention of problem gambling. (Editore)
The Effects of Modeling and Experience on Young Children's Persistence at a Gambling Game /
George C. Tremblay, Loreen Huffman, Ronald S. Drabman – in “Journal of Gambling Studies” - December
1998, Volume 14, Issue 2, pp 193-210
Gambling is common among children and adolescents, but Hide is known about factors initiating or maintaining this
behavior. Fifty-one male and 51 female kindergarten and first grade children were invited to play a game involving repeated
opportunities to select colored chips from a cup while blindfolded. Children playing for tangible incentives elected to play
longer than those who were not (p < .001). Seeing a videotaped model win or fail to win a large prize had no effect on
persistence with the game. Playing again one week later, children playing for incentives exhibited a more successful
strategy, quitting sooner (p < .04) and with more winnings (p < .03). The parameters of experiential versus observational
learning are discussed, with implications for educating children about risk-taking. (Editore)

The prevention of gambling problems in youth: a conceptual framework. / Dickson LM, Derevensky JL, Gupta
R. – in “J Gambl Stud. “ - 2002 Summer;18(2):97-159.
Despite increased awareness of the need to begin educating young children about the potential dangers of gambling, empirical knowledge of the prevention of adolescent problem gambling and its translation into science-based prevention initiatives
is scarce. This paper poses the question of whether or not the common elements of tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drug abuse
prevention programs can be applied to gambling prevention. Common risk and protective factors across addictions, including gambling, appear to point to the need to develop a general model of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. The
authors present the need for science-based prevention initiatives and describe a general adolescent risk-taking model as a
basis for science-based prevention of adolescent problem gambling and other risk behaviors. (Editore)
The relationship between gambling and video-game playing behavior in children and adolescents /
Rina Gupta, Jeffrey L. Derevensky – in “Journal of Gambling Studies” December 1996, Volume 12, Issue 4, pp
375-394
http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2FBF01539183#page-1
It is suggested that commercial video-games (e.g.Nintendo &Sega) and gambling activities have similar attractive features
and intermittent reinforcement schedules. This research seeks to examine the nature of this relationship amongst children.
One hundred and four children aged 9 to 14, from grades 4, 6, and 8, participated. A questionnaire exploring issues related
to video-game playing and gambling behavior in children and adolescents was completed and a computerized blackjack
game was individually administered. High frequency video-game players were compared to low frequency video-game
players with respect to their gambling performance on the blackjack gambling task as well as on information gathered from
the questionnaire.
Of particular concern is the risk-taking strategies used by avid video-game players, whether or not children perceive
gambling and video-games as involving similar amounts of skill or whether they realize that gambling is primarily a game
of chance. The findings, in general, suggest that high frequency video-game players gamble more than low frequency videogame players, report that gambling makes them feel more important, and take greater risks on the blackjack gambling task
although no overall differences in success were found. Males exhibited greater risk-taking tendencies on the blackjack task
than females. The clinical implications of the findings are addressed. (Editore)

critique de la littérature portant sur les évaluations d’interventions préventives. Une analyse des initiatives mondiales en matière de jeu pathologique démontre que les concepts de jeu responsable et de réduction des méfaits se sont répandus et ont
donné lieu dans la dernière décennie à une grande quantité d’initiatives gouvernementales ou privées pour freiner l’évolution du jeu pathologique. Ces initiatives de prévention primaire et secondaire, incluent des services de ligne téléphonique
d’aide au joueur, d’autoexclusion des casinos, le monitorage de joueurs à risque, la dissémination de matériel informatif ou
préventif (vidéos, brochures ou autres) dans le cadre de vastes campagnes nationales, dans le milieu scolaire ou localisées
sur les lieux de jeu, ou encore l’introduction de dispositifs de responsabilisation et d’information sur les appareils électroniques de jeu. La plupart des initiatives de prévention ont en commun de n’avoir pas été évaluées de façon systématique bien
qu’une tendance en ce sens se dessine : l’évaluation de programme constitue en effet de plus en plus soit un outil politique
de légitimation, soit un outil stratégique d’amélioration des programmes de prévention. Onze évaluations de programmes de
prévention primaire et secondaire ont été repérées, décrites et analysées dans la présente revue de littérature. Les éléments
suivants ont été constatés : absence fréquente de mention des buts visés par le programme; absence généralisée de cadre
théorique sur les étapes de progression vers le jeu pathologique et de cadre théorique sur les modifications d’attitude et de
comportement; inadéquation des moments de l’évaluation amenant souvent à des diagnostics d’échec; inadéquation des outils d’évaluation avec le programme de prévention et sa clientèle; absence généralisée de pré-tests; absence généralisée d’informations sur les effets d’abstention, sur les taux de réponse et d’attrition. À un niveau théorique général, l’analyse de ces
évaluations a permis de faire ressortir les points suivants : l’évaluation est importante non seulement comme outil d’estimation de l’efficacité d’un programme de prévention mais elle doit être pensée au moment de l’élaboration de ce dernier, intervenir comme outil de reconfiguration de ce programme. Par ailleurs, les velléités d’objectivité dans l’évaluation sont
louables mais difficilement atteignables : l’agenda qui préside à l’évaluation est déjà un parti pris qu’un outillage méthodologique scientifique ne saurait totalement éclipser. Finalement, plusieurs chercheurs impliqués dans ces évaluations concluent à la nécessité d’intégration de programmes, comme dans le couplage, par exemple, de programmes d’autoexclusion
et de maillage avec des services professionnels, ou le couplage pour les jeunes de séances d’information par un professionnel avec le visionnement d’un vidéo de sensibilisation. Cette tendance impliquerait la mise au point d’outils méthodologiques d’évaluation sophistiqués, vraiment adaptés à la problématique du jeu pathologique, une plus grande rigueur dans la
tenue de ces évaluations, une plus grande rigueur dans l’utilisation des résultats de ces évaluations. (Riassunto autori)

La prevenzione del disagio e delle dipendenze patologiche in età evolutiva : la didattica delle emozioni a scuola e in famiglia / Milano : F. Angeli, 2007 – pp. 191 (Scienze della formazione. Laboratorio ; 15)
BZ-Biblioteca cantonale. Lettura CDS. Segnatura:CDS DS DR XII(1) /209
Il volume si propone di far conoscere e divulgare un modello di intervento di prevenzione del disagio giovanile e di promozione del benessere in età evolutiva: non si tratta di un "fare prevenzione" generico, ma di aver costruito, organizzato e validato scientificamente un format d'intervento, versatile e flessibile, in grado di accompagnare i giovani, e ancor più i giovanissimi, verso un'adultità serena ed equilibrata. La metodologia della "didattica delle emozioni" consiste nell'attrezzare ogni
alunno delle necessarie competenze per non cedere all'illusione di avventure pseudoemozionali favorite, sempre più frequentemente, dall'assunzione di droghe e alcol o da comportamenti caratterizzati da dipendenza e compulsività (anoressia,
bulimia, gioco d'azzardo, abuso di Internet). Il volume racconta le fasi attuative, le basi teoriche, le tecniche pratiche e le
evidenze ottenute affinché possa essere trasferito e riprodotto in altre realtà scolastiche con la stessa passione e lo stesso
successo. (Alice)

L’autore propone di considerare come i giochi d’azzardo siano tra loro diversi per quanto riguarda il loro potenziale di rischio in ordine allo sviluppo di compulsività. I giochi possono infatti essere diversamente “appetibili”, “accessibili”, o “additivi” a seconda delle variabili di genere, di età, di strutture di personalità, di condizione sociale dei potenziali clienti. Riflettere intorno a questi elementi risulta necessario al fine di organizzare l’offerta e l’accessibilità dei giochi con una attenzione al loro impatto sociale, alla prevenzione o riduzione dei danni rispetto sviluppi di problematicità o patologia.

Le developpement d’une pensée critique envers les jeux de hasard et d’argent par l’enseignement des probabilités à l’école primaire: vers une prise de décision. / Annie Savard - Thèse présentée à la Faculté des études supérieures de l'Université Laval dans le cadre du programme de doctorat en didactique pour l'obtention du grade
de Philosophiae Doctor (Ph.D), 2008
Cette recherche étudie la manière avec laquelle un apprentissage des probabilités qui contribue au développement d'une
pensée critique à l'égard des jeux de hasard et d'argent peut influencer la prise de décision d'une éventuelle participation à
ces activités. Elle s'intéresse donc à la mobilisation des ressources mathématiques dans une perspective de citoyenneté. Puisque le gambling est, chez les jeunes, un phénomène en pleine expansion à l'échelle mondiale, il importe d'appliquer des
mesures préventives qui permettront de les outiller dès l'école primaire. À cette fin, six situations d'apprentissage ont été
proposées à 27 élèves âgés de 9 et 10 ans d'une classe de quatrième année du primaire. La chercheure, qui était également
l'enseignante, a proposé des activités permettant de circonscrire les jeux de hasard et d'argent. Les résultats suggèrent que
les contextes mathématiques, socioculturels et personnels issus de la modélisation ethnomathématique déterminent la perspective dans laquelle se situent les apprenants. Tenir compte de ces contextes permet de donc créer des conditions d'apprentissage qui favorisent la complexification des conceptions des élèves. Cette complexification peut les conduire à une
prise de conscience des structures probabilistes d'approche théorique, fréquentielle ou subjective, ou encore à développer
une pensée critique à l'égard des jeux de hasard et d'argent. De plus, le développement d'un raisonnement probabiliste en
contexte mathématique amène les élèves à développer une compréhension de la variabilité et de l'aléatoire dans ce contexte.
Les résultats de cette recherche suggèrent que les arguments employés par les élèves pour décider d'une éventuelle participation à ce type d'activités reposent entre autres sur des connaissances mathématiques ou sur l'éthique provenant du contexte de jeu. (Riassunto autore)

Le dipendenze comportamentali in età evolutiva. / ValeriaVerrastro – Roma: Alpes Italia, 2015 – pp. 126
BZ-Biblioteca cantonale. Lettura CDS. Segnatura:CDS in ordinazione
L'adolescenza è una particolare fase evolutiva per lo sviluppo di comportamenti di dipendenza patologica (dalla dipendenza
delle figure di riferimento all'indipendenza, per la conquista dell'autonomia e la costruzione della propria identità). L'adolescente può essere spinto a sperimentare condotte devianti e trasgressive, con il rischio di sviluppare una "dipendenza" da
comportamento. Le nuove dipendenze comportamentali comprendono quelle condotte con caratteristiche di addiction (l'oggetto implicato non è l'uso di una sostanza, ma un comportamento socialmente accettato). Queste condotte tra gli adolescenti, preoccupano l'intera comunità scientifica per le eventuali pericolose ricadute sul successivo sviluppo evolutivo. Una recente ricerca sulle dipendenze comportamentali individua i possibili fattori di rischio e di protezione, al fine di riconoscerne
i segnali precoci e prevenirne la strutturazione della patologia. Si intende incoraggiare l'approfondimento dello studio sul
campo e la programmazione di programmi d'intervento specifici, volti alla prevenzione della tendenza precoce degli individui in età evolutiva a sviluppare nuove forme di dipendenza patologica. (Editore)

[et al.] - Montréal : MCGill University, International Centre for Youth Gambling Problems and HighRisk Behaviors, 2007 – 1 vol.
La présente étude examine l’impact de la publicité entourant les jeux de hasard et d’argent sur les attitudes et les comportements des adolescents. L’étude de l’impact de la publicité est divisée en deux phases : une phase qualitative (phase 1) et une
phase quantitative (phase 2). L’objectif de l’examen qualitatif (phase 1) visait à identifier les caractéristiques des publicités
sur les jeux de hasard et d’argent et leur influence, telles que perçues par les adolescents. Ces informations ont ensuite été
utilisées dans la construction du questionnaire visant à colliger les informations sur les perceptions des participants au regard des caractéristiques structurales et situationnelles des publicités (phase 2).
Tous les participants à cette étude sont des élèves fréquentant des écoles secondaires ontariennes et québécoises où la langue d’enseignement primaire est l’anglais. En plus de s’exprimer sur l’impact de leur exposition aux publicités entourant les
jeux d’argent, les participants ont été invités à commenter cinq différents aspects des publicités : 1) ce qu’ils aimaient et ce
qu’ils n’aimaient pas au regard du contenu des publicités; 2) les caractéristiques des publicités les plus saillantes; 3) les
messages perçus; 4) les populations ciblées par les publicités; et 5) l’influence des publicités sur eux et sur leurs pairs. Les

This paper critically reviews the existing literature on the effectiveness of gambling prevention programmes for youth. Two
categories of preventive strategies, all universal and most school-based, are presented: gambling-specific prevention programmes and gambling and related skills workshops. The age of the participants across the different studies varied from 9 to
20 years. Results show that programmes in both categories are generally effective in reducing misconceptions and increasing knowledge about gambling. However, a lack of long-term follow-ups and of behavioural measures makes it difficult to
draw any clear conclusions about the effectiveness of such programmes. Recommendations are presented to improve the
development and evaluation of future prevention programmes for youth gambling (Editore)

Adolescents’ heightened risk-seeking in a probabilistic gambling task / Stephanie Burnett … [et al.] – in

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0885201410000201
This study investigated adolescent males’ decision-making under risk, and the emotional response to decision outcomes,
using a probabilistic gambling task designed to evoke counterfactually mediated emotions (relief and regret). Participants
were 20 adolescents (aged 9–11), 26 young adolescents (aged 12–15), 20 mid-adolescents (aged 15–18) and 17 adults (aged
25–35). All were male. The ability to maximize expected value improved with age. However, there was an inverted Ushaped developmental pattern for risk-seeking. The age at which risk-taking was highest was 14.38 years. Although emotion
ratings overall did not differ across age, there was an increase between childhood and young adolescence in the strength of
counterfactually mediated emotions (relief and regret) reported after receiving feedback about the gamble outcome. We
suggest that continuing development of the emotional response to outcomes may be a factor contributing to adolescents’
risky behaviour. (Editore)
Age differences in affective decision making as indexed by performance on the Iowa Gambling Task./
Cauffman, Elizabeth … [et al.] - in “Developmental Psychology” - Vol 46(1), Jan 2010, 193-207.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/a0016128
Contemporary perspectives on age differences in risk taking, informed by advances in developmental neuroscience, have
emphasized the need to examine the ways in which emotional and cognitive factors interact to influence decision making. In
the present study, a diverse sample of 901 individuals between the ages of 10 and 30 were administered a modified version
of the Iowa Gambling Task, which is designed to measure affective decision making. Results indicate that approach behaviors (operationalized as the tendency to play increasingly from the advantageous decks over the course of the task) display
an inverted U-shape relation to age, peaking in mid- to late adolescence. In contrast, avoidance behaviors (operationalized
as the tendency to refrain from playing from the disadvantageous decks) increase linearly with age, with adults avoiding disadvantageous decks at higher rates than both preadolescents and adolescents. The finding that adolescents, compared to
adults, are relatively more approach oriented in response to positive feedback and less avoidant in response to negative feedback is consistent with recent studies of brain development, as well as epidemiological data on various types of risky behavior, and may have important practical implications for the prevention of adolescent risk taking.

Pathological gambling is an impulse-control disorder characterized by preoccupation with gambling, a need to bet more money, "chasing" lost money, and loss of control manifested by continuation of the gambling behavior in spite of escalating
negative consequences. According to recent epidemiologic studies of gambling disorders in the United States, up to 1.9% of
adults meet criteria for pathological gambling. In today’s youth, gambling begins at a young age, perhaps as early as 8 to 12
years , and prevalence rates of pathological gambling among youths are higher than rates reported among adults . Approximately 4-8% of adolescents currently have a serious gambling problem, and 10-14% of adolescents may be at-risk for developing a problem . The National Research Council (1999) suggested that the prevalence of pathological gambling among
adolescents was more than threefold that of adults (5.0%vs. .5%)… (dall’introduzione)

The past decade has witnessed a widespread proliferation of gambling venues, increased participation in gambling activities
and gambling-related problems, and, as a result, an expansion of research in this area. Research concerned with youth
gambling has revealed that children and adolescents are at an increased risk for the development of gambling-related
problems. There is a significant amount of evidence that suggests that underage youth are actively participating in both legal
and illegal forms of gambling. With increases in the availability and accessibility of gambling activities, the problems that
youth gamblers face are likely to increase and/or worsen. The growth of the current generation of youth involvement in
gambling has not occurred without personal, social and economic costs. Between 4 and 8% of adolescents report significant
pathological or problem patterns of gambling, whereas 10–15% remain at risk for the development of severe problems.

For the children, gambling is a constant, often invisible, presence in the family. Sometimes it brings a happy surprise and
sometimes sadness or an angry outburst to the home. Inconsistencies and tensions impact on the lives of the children. Like
other families that experience financial problems, there may be frequent moves. A move from a house, to a new neighbourhood and school, again, and again. Household items appear and disappear. However, unlike growing up in a neighbourhood
where poverty is endemic, in the home of a problem gambler the child knows that (even though it remains unsaid) someone
is to blame… (Introduzione)

Problem gambling is becoming an increasingly widespread and damaging social and health problem. As opportunities for
gambling become more accessible, especially through lotteries and electronic gaming machines, it is likely that more people
will develop serious gambling problems. Given the worldwide increasing spending on gambling activities and the increasing number of problem gamblers, it is unfortunate but likely that the children who grow up in problem gambling families
will become an important area of concern for child health and social workers. Considerable research has been undertaken
into problem gambling and the adult problem gambler, but within the gambling and child health literature there is almost no
recognition of the experiences of children who live in problem-gambling families. Drawing on the findings of the landmark
Productivity Commission Report, this review explores the marked increase in gambling and its social effects, especially
from the Australian perspective. The damaging social effects of problem gambling on families and children are reviewed
and the comparative invisibility of children and young people in such research is discussed. The pervasive influence of developmentalism is critiqued and highlighted in relation to the exclusion of children's perspectives from our research understandings. The review concludes by proposing that adoption of some of the emerging 'new paradigm' approaches to childhood and children's experiences could markedly enhance our understandings of the lives and experiences of this significant
group of children and young people. (Editore)

I bambini fra i 5 e i 13 anni vedono la televisione in media 110 minuti al giorno e i programmi per loro hanno pubblicità ad
hoc. Se spengono la tv passano ai videogiochi, che non solo mettono in scena mondi virtuali popolati da marche e prodotti
reali ma offrono ai giocatori la possibilità di imbattersi nelle più svariate attività di consumo, dallo shopping in negozi monomarca alla scelta di un guardaroba per il proprio alter ego virtuale. Poi, sempre quei bambini si addormentano con i pupazzetti di Tony la Tigre e tutti gli altri personaggi legati ai cereali Kellogg's. È questa l'infanzia dei nostri giorni, immersa
nella logica del consumo - un imperativo universale - che non ammette differenze di status, genere o età. Molte teorie e studi sull'argomento ritengono la condizione di consumatori come un dato di fatto, acquisita una volta per tutte sin dalla nascita. Non è così. Simona Ironico dimostra come gli individui non nascano consumatori ma lo diventino e illustra l'iter per creare dei piccoli dipendenti. Il lavoro offre una chiave di lettura per orientarsi nel peculiare mondo dei consumi infantili, rivolgendosi a tutti coloro che intendono approfondire le complesse dinamiche che intercorrono fra bambini, mercato e società: dagli studenti universitari in discipline economiche e umanistiche agli operatori di settore, dagli studiosi di infanzia e
consumi ai genitori. (Alice)

Social learning theory maintains that individuals model, learn and maintain behaviors that are observed, appealing and
reinforcing. As such, parents and family members can often serve as significant models for gambling. Four hundred and
seventy seven children between the ages of 9 and 14 completed a questionnaire inquiring about their gambling activities,
including where and with whom gambling occurs, as well as information concerning their perceptions of their own
gambling behavior. Results indicate that 86% of children who gamble regularly reported gambling with family members.
Fifty-three percent of students who gambled within the previous 12 months reported gambling with their siblings, 40%
gambled with their parents, 46% gambled with other relatives, and 75% gambled in their own homes. Students' responses
also indicated gambling with their friends (75%), gambling alone (18%), and with strangers (8%). As children's age
increases they tend to gamble more at friend's homes and at school. Prevalence rates indicated that 81% of the total sample
had gambled at one point in their lives and 52% of those children reported gambling once a week or more. Eleven percent
reported that gambling makes them feel important, 27% feel they gamble more than they desire to do so, and only 10% of
the grade 8 students fear being caught gambling, suggesting gambling activities to be a socially acceptable behavior. Several
clinical and research questions are addressed. (Editore)

Gambling and Problem Gambling Among Young Adolescents in Great Britain / David Forrest, Ian G.
McHale- in “Journal of Gambling Studies “(2012)- December 2012, Volume 28, Issue 4, pp 607-622
International evidence suggests that problem gambling tends to be 2–4 times higher among adolescents as among adults and
this proves to be true of Great Britain according to the latest adolescent prevalence survey. 8,958 British children (11–15)
were surveyed in 201 schools during late 2008 and 2009. The questionnaire included a standard screen, DSM-IV-MR-J, to
test for problem gambling. Our regression models explore influences of demographic, home and school characteristics on
probabilities (both unconditional and conditional on being a gambler) of a child testing positive for problem gambling.
More than 20% of children participated in gambling and, of these, nearly 8% tested positive. Age-group prevalence of
problem gambling was 1.9%, compared with 0.6–0.9% in the most recent official adult surveys. Boys were much more
likely than girls to gamble and to exhibit symptoms of problem gambling if they did. Generally, home characteristics,
particularly parental attitude and example, dominated school characteristics in accounting for risks. Unanticipated findings
included significantly elevated probabilities of problem gambling among Asian children and among children who live in a
home without siblings. Child income was also a potent predictor of gambling and problem gambling. (Editore)

Gambling among primary school students / Robert Ladouceur, Dominique Dubé, Annie Bujold – in “Journal of

This study identifies the gambling behavior of 1,320 primary school students aged 8 to 12 of the 4th, 5th and 6th grades.
Eighty-six percent admitted to having, at some time or another, bet money. Lotteries are the most popular form of gambling
for this age group. Sixty-one percent of these students gamble with lotteries. In descending order of popularity, other games
played by students were: bingo, card-playing for money, bets on sports, wagering on specific events, video gambling (video
poker and slot machines), and finally betting on games of skill. Gambling behaviors differed according to gender. More than
40% of respondents reported gambling once a week or more for at least one game. Because of the early development of
gambling behavior in children, prevention programs for pathological gambling should be implemented as early as the fourth
grade. (Editore)
Gambling behaviours and associated familial influences among 9-year old Pacific children in New Zealand /
Maria Bellringer... [et al.] – in “International gambling studies” - Volume 14, Number 3, december 2014, p. 457471
There is a paucity of research investigating child gambling, particularly studies that do not use retrospective designs. The
presented findings provide cross-sectional data of the gambling behaviours of 874 9-year old Pacific children from a birth
cohort study (recruited from one hospital) investigating health, developmental and social outcomes for Pacific children and
their families in New Zealand. Structured interviews were administered to participants (mothers and children), face to face,
in their homes (mothers) or school (children). Child gambling behaviours and associations with some maternal behaviours
were investigated; five gambling participation questions were included in the child interview. Almost all child respondents
(96%) reported having played card games with family or friends and 60% reported participation in housie (bingo), although
only 27% reported having bet with money. Associations were noted between child gambling and household deprivation, and
effectiveness of parental monitoring. There was no association between children's gambling and mothers' gambling. This is
the first research to examine gambling in Pacific children at 9 years of age within a familial context. It will allow exploration of links between parental gambling and child development of gambling behaviours, as well as risk and protective factors for problem gambling at future data collection phases of the study.(Editore)/ Parole chiave: Pacific Island, children,

Gambling in children and adolescents / Mark D. Griffith - “Journal of gambling behavior” - March 1989,
Volume 5, Issue 1, pp 66-83
The topic of adolescent gambling is attracting growing interest, but there has still been little controlled or systematic
research into the area, and much of what has been written would best be described as “armchair theorizing.” The literature
concerning pre-adult gambling behavior falls into three general categories: (a) direct and indirect studies concerning
adolescent gambling; (b) studies of the economic socialization of children, and (c) consideration of gambling as play and
games as precursors to gambling. This paper presents an overview of the literature examining each of these three categories.
Special emphasis is placed upon the playing of fruit machines, as it is this activity which is currently regarded as the biggest
problem concerning young gamblers, particularly in the U.K. Recommendations for future research are discussed,
particularly for work using a functional/behavioral analysis model to determine the variables which influence how
adolescents “learn” to gamble. (Editore)

Gambling has increased in the past decade, with growing opportunities for initiation by adolescents. More limited data, however, are available regarding gambling in preadolescents. In the investigation reported here, gambling for money was the
most common risk behavior in 10- to 12-year-olds. Gamblers were more likely to be white, have tried alcohol, have positive
affect toward gambling, and have friends who gamble.

Impact of gambling advertisements and marketing on children and adolescents: Policy recommendations to
minimise harm / Sally Monaghan, Jeffrey Derevensky, Alyssa Sklar – in “Journal of Gambling Issues”: Issue
22, pp. 252-274
http://jgi.camh.net/doi/full/10.4309/jgi.2008.22.7
With the proliferation and acceptance of gambling in society, gambling advertisements have become increasingly prominent. Despite attempts to protect minors from harm by prohibiting them from engaging in most forms of gambling, there are
few restrictions on the marketing of gambling products. Evidence of high rates of gambling and associated problems
amongst youth indicates that the issue of youth gambling must be addressed to minimise harm. This paper aims to examine
the current marketing techniques used to promote gambling and how they affect youth. The effect of multiple forms of advertisements will be discussed, including advertising placement in the media, point-of-sale displays, sports sponsorship,
promotional products, celebrity endorsements, advertisements using Internet and wireless technology, and content which
may appeal to or mislead children. Based on research in gambling and other public health domains, including tobacco, alcohol, and junk food advertising, recommendations are made for appropriate regulations for gambling advertisements to minimise the potential harms. (Editore)
Internet Gambling and Social Responsibility: An Exploratory Study. / Michael Smeaton and Mark Griffiths. –

Within the last few years, we have seen a substantial increase in the amount of gambling opportunities offered on the
Internet. Many concerns have been raised about the activity, including the potential for excessive gambling, and the lack of
safeguards for vulnerable populations such as adolescents and problem gamblers. Given these concerns, a representative selection of 30 U.K.-owned Internet gambling sites were studied to examine what safeguards were in place to encourage social responsibility of Internet gamblers. It was found that very few sites were engaged in socially responsible practice and
that much more could be done to protect vulnerable groups. The findings from this study were then used to compile a list of
recommendations for good practice among Internet gambling operators. (Editore)
Is the SOGS an Accurate Measure of Pathological Gambling Among Children, Adolescents and Adults? /
Robert Ladouceur … [et al.] – in “Journal of Gambling Studies” - March 2000, Volume 16, Issue 1, pp 1-24
http://link.springer.com/article/10.1023%2FA%3A1009443516329?LI=true
The South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) is widely used to assess the prevalence of pathological gambling. For a variety
of reasons, this instrument may not provide an accurate rate of the prevalence of pathological gambling. In this paper, one
source of error in data provided by the SOGS is investigated. It is argued that individuals may not fully understand the
meaning of some items, and that clarification of the meaning of misunderstood items may in some cases lead to a changed
score on the scale. The present study evaluates respondents' understanding of the SOGS items. The results from three
studies are reported, each using a different sample: grade school children, adolescents and adults. It was hypothesised that
(1) participants would not understand some items of the SOGS, (2) problem gamblers and probable pathological gamblers
would be more inclined to interpret items incorrectly than would non-problem gamblers and, (3) consistent with the first
two hypotheses, clarification of items would decrease the number of participants identified as problem gamblers or probable
pathological gamblers. The data obtained supported hypotheses 1 and 3. Furthermore, hypothesis 2 was supported for grade
school children, but not for adolescents or adults. These results are consistent with recent literature on endorsement and
acquiescence phenomena, and have implications for prevalence studies of probable pathological gambling. (Editore)
‘It wasn't a very encouraging environment’ : influence of early family experiences on problem and at-risk
gamblers in Victoria, Australia / Lise Saugeres, Anna Thomas & Susan Moore – in “International gambling
studies” - Volume 14, Number 1, april 2014, p. 132-145
Prior research suggests that at-risk and problem gamblers are more likely to have experienced early family dysfunction and
exposure to gambling within the family in early childhood. However, little is known about the ways in which early childhood experiences contribute to at-risk and problem gambling in adulthood. Drawing on life history interviews with 48 participants, this article shows that the vast majority of regular gamblers in our study had been exposed to gambling as children in
their family of origin. It also shows that different experiences of gambling within the early family were associated with contrasting gambling forms and risk levels in adulthood. Several at-risk and problem gamblers reported having had a parent or
other family member with problematic gambling behaviour, while low-risk gamblers had experienced gambling in their early family life as purely recreational.
18
In addition, the majority of the problem and at-risk gamblers had experienced conflicts, lack of encouragement and support,
negativity, emotional distance and lack of communication in their early family life. A few also reported experiencing various forms of abuse as children. This paper shows that early exposure to problematic gambling and early family dysfunction impacted substantially on the participants' lives as adults and contributed to problem gambling. (Editore)

Come le altre dipendenza il gioco patologico è accompagnato da pregiudizi considerevoli, non solo per le persone dipendenti, ma anche per il loro ambiente familiare. I figli dei giocatori patologici sono così esposti a molteplici fattori di rischio che possono avere tutta una serie di ripercussioni negative sul loro sviluppo. Lo studio presentato nell'articolo, descrive, per la prima volta, dati raccolti nell'area germanofoca sulle condizioni di vita dei
figli di giocatori. Lo studio ha lo scopo di esplorare il mondo delle ideee delle esperienze di questi bambini per
mezzo di interviste qualitative strutturate al fine di scoprire cosa significa, dal loro punto di vista, crescere con
un genitore giocatore patologico. In modo generale i loro racconti evocano prove simili a quelle di figli di tossicodipendenti (conflitti familiali, sentimenti di ambivalenza, angosce di perdita, rotture di fiducia, ferite profonde
e difficoltà a dare dei limiti)

Measuring pathological gambling in children: The case of fruit machines in the U.K. / Sue Fisher – in
“Journal of Gambling Studies” - September 1992, Volume 8, Issue 3, pp 263-285
The alleged incidence of addiction to fruit machine gambling among children in the U.K. has highlighted the need for a
measure to define and count pathological gambling in children. The DSM-IV criteria, which are being refined to diagnose
pathological gambling in adults, was adapted for use with pre-adult gamblers. The resulting DSM-IV-J criteria were tested
using a questionnaire survey on a sample of 467 schoolchildren aged between 11 and 16 years. Those children who were
defined as “probable pathological” gamblers by the DSM-IV-J index were significantly more likely to be involved in
behaviours hitherto associated with dependency, than were the control group. DSM-IV-J appears to be a major advance in
the discrimination of pathological gambling in children. (Editore)

Since 2011, Australia has witnessed a rapid increase in the amount of gambling advertising for some forms of gambling
products in community spaces. Most obviously has been the proliferation of advertising for wagering products within professional sport. Concern has been raised from the community, academics and governments about this specific type of
advertising, with questions raised about the long and short term effect on the gambling attitudes and behaviours of some population subgroups – in particular young men and children. (Autore)
Parents' Attitudes and Knowledge Regarding Gambling Among Youths. / Ladouceur R. … [et al.]. – In “” 1998 Spring;14(1):83-90
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12766436
This study evaluates attitudes and knowledge of parents regarding gambling behaviors among youths, aged 5 to 17 years.
Telephone interviews were conducted among 279 randomly selected parents (32% fathers and 68% mothers) in the Quebec
City region. Results indicate that parents overestimate the age of children's first wagers and underestimate the probability
that their own child has already gambled. Most parents (86%) believe that the availability of gambling for youths should be
reduced and that schools should include prevention programs concerning problem gambling. Results also show that parents
fail to associate excessive gambling with poor grades or with alcohol and drug use. Finally, 84% of the parents reported that
they would accept buying lottery tickets for their child. These results suggest that prevention programs for excessive gambling among children should include information for parents. (Editore)

This large population-based study (N = 1,125) examined whether low inhibition (i.e., low anxiety) predicted early gambling,
above and beyond disinhibition (i.e., impulsivity) and whether the two personal dispositions operated independently or interactively. It also examined whether the predictive role of these personal dispositions towards early gambling depended on
parent gambling. Children's personal dispositions were assessed at ages 6, 7, and 8 years through teacher ratings. Parent
gambling participation and gambling problems were assessed when the children were 8 years old. Finally, children's early
gambling was measured through self-reports when the children were 10 years old. Results showed that teacher-rated impulsivity predicted early gambling for both genders.
20
In addition, low anxiety predicted early gambling behavior, above and beyond impulsivity and control variables, albeit only
in boys. Impulsivity and anxiety did not interact with each other, nor did they interact with parent gambling in predicting
early gambling. However, parent gambling participation, but not problems, additively predicted early gambling for boys and
for girls. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed. (Editore)
Prevalence Rates of Youth Gambling Problems: Are the Current Rates Inflated? / Jeffrey L. Derevensky,
Rina Gupta, Ken Winters – in “Journal of Gambling Studies” - December 2003, Volume 19, Issue 4, pp 405-425
While there is a general consensus in the literature that it is common for youth to gamble, considerable variability in the
reported prevalence rates of youth problem gambling has been found. More recently, issues concerning the possible
overestimation of these rates have been raised. Arguments underlying the proposition that problem gambling rates for youth
are inflated are examined. It is acknowledged that more rigorous research is required, including the need for the
development and refinement of current adolescent instruments and screening tools, agreement upon a gold standard
criterion for adolescent problem gambling, and clarity of nomenclature issues. The advancement of scientific knowledge
concerning the underlying risk factors associated with the onset and course of youth gambling involvement and the role of
effective adolescent prevention and treatment programs will require these fundamental research questions to be addressed.

Social Influences Involved in Children's Gambling Behavior. / Karen K. Hardoon, Jeffrey L. Derevensky – In
” Journal of Gambling Studies” - September 2001, Volume 17, Issue 3, pp 191-215
Children (N = 130) in grades 4 and 6 from various schools in the Greater Montreal Region completed a questionnaire
concerning their gambling behavior and played a computer-simulated roulette game individually (baseline trial & post-test
trial) and in groups (same and mixed gender dyads or triads: group trial). The purpose of this design was to measure
children's betting behavior (via average wagers) and to determine if any changes in betting occur as a result of playing in
groups of two, three, same and/or different gender peers. Results of repeated measures analyses reveal that during individual
and group play, males consistently exhibit higher average wagers than females. Average wagers of females and mixed
gender groupings appear to be most affected by the group condition. Females were found to increase their average wagers
when playing with females and males. Female dyads' wagers increase significantly during group play, indicating they are
dramatically affected by the group game. Most changes resulting from group play were generally maintained over a
relatively short period of time in the post-test condition. Results are interpreted with respect to the importance of the
influence of the peer group on children's gambling behavior. Future directions for research are suggested. (Editore)
Testing NLCLiP: Validation of Estimates of Rates of Non-problematic and Problematic Gambling in a
Sample of British Schoolchildren / John Lepper, Ben Haden – in “Journal of Gambling Studies” - March
2013, Volume 29, Issue 1, pp 15-27
This paper reports on the results of applying a short screen for problem gambling, called NLCLiP, to a national sample of
8,958 British schoolchildren under the age of 16. It shows that, in its current form, NLCLiP can, with reasonable accuracy,
be employed to estimate the rate of prevalence of problematic and non-problematic (i.e. gambling which does not lead to
significant endorsement of DSM-IV-MR-J criteria) in a general population of children. However, NLCLiP does not reliably
discriminate between problem and at risk gamblers. Moreover, it does not provide a reliable basis to identify cases of
problem gambling. The main conclusion reached is that NLCLiP is a potentially useful tool for regulators to assess changes
in the prevalence of problematic and non-problematic gambling among children over time. (Editore)

The Relationship Between Age of Gambling Onset and Adolescent Problematic Gambling Severity / Ardeshir
S. Rahman … [et al.] – in “J Psychiatr Res.” - 2012 May; 46(5): 675–683
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3334397/
The aim of this study was to characterize the association between problem gambling severity and multiple health,
functioning and gambling variables in adolescents aged 13–18 stratified by age of gambling onset. Survey data in 1624
Connecticut high school students stratified by age of gambling onset (≤11 years vs. ≥ 12 years) were analyzed in descriptive
analyses and in logistic regression models. Earlier age of onset was associated with problem gambling severity as indexed
by a higher frequency of at-risk/problem gambling (ARPG). Most health, functioning and gambling measures were
similarly associated with problem gambling severity in the earlier- and later-age-of-gambling-onset groups with the
exception of participation in non-strategic forms of gambling, which was more strongly associated with ARPG in the
earlier-onset (OR=1.74, 95%CI=[1.26, 2.39]) as compared to later-onset (OR=0.94, 95%CI=[0.60, 1.48]) group (Interaction
OR=1.91, 95%CI=[1.18, 3.26]). Post-hoc analysis revealed that earlier-onset ARPG was more strongly associated with
multiple forms of non-strategic gambling including lottery (instant, traditional) and slot-machine gambling. The finding that
problem gambling severity is more closely associated with multiple non-strategic forms of gambling amongst youth with
earlier onset of gambling highlights the relevance of these types of youth gambling. The extent to which non-strategic forms
of gambling may serve as a gateway to other forms of gambling or risk behaviors warrants additional study, and efforts
targeting youth gambling should consider how best to address non-strategic gambling through education, prevention,
treatment and policy efforts. (Editore)

Il Pensiero Magico nei bambini
La pensée magique selon Piaget
Le pyschologue suisse Jean Piaget, grand théoricien de ma formation de l’intelligence (voir le billet plus complet intitulé
« les stades de l’intelligences selon Piaget« ), a mis en évidence la pensée magique des enfants de 3 à 6 ans. Leur représentation du monde, explique-t-il, se caractérise par l’adualisme (la confusion entre le moi et le non-moi qui le laisse penser
que les rêves viennent de la chambre où il dort), l’animisme (il croit que tous les corps sont vivants, que le caillou a peur
qu’on le jette dans l’eau), la causalité morale (il pense que le soleil est gentil parce qu’il le réchauffe), le finalisme (il considère que tout a une fonction : « la nuit, c’est pour dormir ») et l’artificialisme (tout a été fabriqué, ce sont des gens qui ont
construit les montagnes). Il croit en outre pouvoir changer le cours des choses par des pratiques magiques, par exemple
réaliser un souhait en marchant sur des dalles sans toucher les interstices. Pas étonnant que le monde lui paraisse parfois
si inquiétant !
Ages & Stages: How Children Use Magical Thinking : Understanding how children use magical thinking to
learn about and explore their world. / By Susan A. Miller Ed.D., Ellen Booth Church, and Carla Poole
http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/article/ages-stages-how-children-use-magical-thinking
… By 12 months, an infant's thinking becomes more rooted in the reality that objects and people remain the same even
when out of sight. This concept of object permanence, along with an expanding memory, makes the baby's life a bit more
predictable. But, she still often misinterprets reality. For instance, 1-year-old Jemima voices displeasure and is frightened
when a toy unexpectedly rolls just a few inches toward her. The world is a mystical place, and babies have a fragile
understanding of the difference between animate and inanimate objects…(Dall’articolo)

The problem in this study was to determine the process of acquisition of some fundamental notions (structures) of space and
time in preschool children. A fundamental structure that underlies the idea of space is the opposition between the
permeability and the impermeability of a physical body for another physical body. A fundamental structure on which the
concept of time is based is the opposition between reversibility and irreversibility of complex processes. In two
experiments, children aged 4, 5 and 6 years were placed in situations in which they were free to reveal their beliefs in the
permeability of a solid body (a glass wall of a box) and in the reversibility of complex processes (turning back into a little
boy or girl again). The results showed that at the beginning of the experiment almost all the children denied that
permeability or reversibility could occur in real life. However, under the influence of a fairy tale and an adult's instruction,
the majority of 4- and 5-year -olds revealed their credulity towards such unusual properties of space and time both at the
level of practical actions and at the level of verbal judgements. (Editore)

L'humanité, écrit Freud, a produit, au cours des temps, trois systèmes de pensée ou trois grandes visions du monde : l'animisme (mythologique), la religieuse, la scientifique. Parmi elles, la première créée, celle de l'animisme, est peut-être la plus
conséquente et la plus exhaustive. C'est un système de pensée qui permet de concevoir à partir d'un seul point le tout du
monde comme « un unique ensemble cohérent » (Les Nouvelles conférences) et qui laisse des traces dans la superstition,
dans le fondement de notre parler et de notre croire, voire de notre philosopher. Or, cette première vision du monde de l'humanité est une théorie psychologique. Et les travaux de S.Reinach, H. Hubert, M. Mauss et de E.B. Taylor vont servir à
Freud de point de départ pour prendre justement ensuite un chemin plus « psychologique ». C'est dans le chapitre « animisme, magie et toute puissance des pensées » (Totem et tabou) que Freud soulève la question de la pensée magique. Puisant dans les désirs de l'homme, conférant ainsi une surestimation de l'acte psychique, la magie est la part la plus originale et
la plus significative de la technique animiste. « Ce qu'il (l'homme) instaure par voie magique ne doit en fait advenir que
parce qu'il le veut. » Ce moyen se retrouve chez l'enfant, le primitif et le névrosé. Le principe qui régit la magie est celui de
la « toute puissance des pensées ». C'est par rapport à la névrose obsessionnelle, que Freud soulève la question de la pensée
magique qui puise dans la dimension narcissique de la régression. Par leur dimension magique et omnipotente, les mots deviennent dangereux car ils ont la capacité de tuer et/ou de ressusciter, sans oublier la régression de l'acte à la pensée, l'annulation rétroactive et la régression de la pensée à la puissance magique du rite conjuratoire. Freud établit le lien avec les
modes de pensée des primitifs. La pensée est investie d'un caractère magique et d'une toute puissance propre à la pensée infantile. (Presentazione)

Magical thinking in childhood bears at least superficial similarities to obsessive compulsion, and recent cognitive models of
obsessive compulsive disorder implicate forms of thinking akin to the magical. However, there has been little research on
the relations between normal magical thinking in childhood and obsessive compulsion. The present study has two aims: to
investigate magical thinking in young children and through to late adolescence, and to examine the relation between
magical thinking and obsessive compulsion. It was found that children across the age range studied reported some magical
thinking, and there was no general decline in the level of magical thinking with age. This overall pattern was complicated,
however, by fluctuations in the level of magical thinking in later childhood and early adolescence, and by gender
differences. There was a significant correlation between levels of magical thinking and obsessive compulsion. The results
are discussed in the light of current theories. (Editore)
